What is the difference between a septic cleaning service and a septic pumping service?

Septic cleaning services involve removing all the liquids and solids from your septic tank and thoroughly cleaning it to remove any buildup or sludge. Septic pumping services remove only the liquids from the tank, leaving the solids that have not yet broken down.

How often should I schedule a septic tank pumping service?

It is recommended to have your septic tank pumped every 3 to 5 years. However, the frequency can vary based on the size of your tank, the number of people in your household, and your overall water usage.

What are the signs that my septic tank needs to be pumped or cleaned?

Common signs that it is time for septic tank service include slow drains, unpleasant odors from the drains or septic tank area, water pooling around the drain field, and sewage backups in your home. If you notice any of these issues, call a professional as soon as possible for septic tank service.

Can I pump my own septic tank?

Pumping a septic tank requires specialized equipment and knowledge of proper disposal methods for the waste. It is highly recommended to hire a professional septic service to ensure the job is done safely and effectively.

What can happen if I don't regularly pump my septic tank?

Neglecting to pump your septic tank can lead to a buildup of solids, which can clog the drain field pipes, leading to system failure. This can result in costly repairs, environmental damage, and potential health hazards due to untreated sewage leaking into the ground.
